Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1880 edition. Excerpt: ... A lady was one day telling our then Governor, Sir Thomas Gore Browne, of what she termed "a very bad road." A Bad. Road. 131 "A bad road," rejoined he. "Can ten bullocks pull a cart through it V She thought they could. "Ah, then," replied the Governor, laughing, "it 's not a bad road. We used to consider any road in New Zealand a good one that ten bullocks could pull through." In some districts of our island the municipal road trusts have done good service in the improvement of country ways by bridging dangerous fords and by avoiding the worst mountain passes. But in many cases ignorance of the simplest principles of surveying or engineering is but too evident, and the expenditure of-the small disposable funds, with all but useless result, is the outcome. Our friends could have sadly verified these observations as they pursued their journey. The destructive floods of the past winter had rendered even "made" roads worse than those left in primitive bush condition. In one place, where the road wound terrace-wise round the steep side of a mountain above a deep wooded ravine, in the bottom of which flowed a river, the outer portion of the road, built up of rocks and stones, was washed down, leaving a space something less in places than the width of the cart-wheels; and on reaching it, Mr. Merton set down his passengers to walk, he and Lina carefully leading the horses over the dangerous ground, which extended a quarter of a mile or more. In another, a-causeway of earth, with the road on the top, had been thrown up across a wide marsh, leaving a small bridged opening for the usual river, but making no allowance for the enormous additional volume of water which covered the whole valley...

Book Description
This volume traces the 300-year history of bird art in Australia, from the crudely illustrated records of the earliest European voyages of discovery to the diversity of artwork available at the start of the 21st century. It is a history inseparable from the development of Australian ornithology. Against a background of establishment of the country itself, naval draftsmen, convicts, officers, settlers, naturalists, artists and scientists alike contributed both to the art and to science.
